From the ORPHANS FRIEND.
SOME ODITIEs OF HUMANITY.
What strange freak Of human na
ture to believe that something is going
to happen. merely because the nature
aforesaid, would wish it to happen. Fo1
well nigh two hundred years certain
prophets of evil have been telling lis.
tening world that The devil would whir
the Catholic Church out Of sight, on 6
certain day of a certain month of GER
tain year, all worked out by CIPHER
they kept on telling amid much doubt
that the Pope was and is Antichrist
that the Church was dying and in few
years would be dead and buried. Yet,
in the face of all these Vaccinations,
your correspondent looked out last
night on crowd Of as healthy looking
Catholics as ones heart could desire
no sad-eyed, consurnptive specimens,
but hale and hearty, with every pros
pect Of long life and in time, numer-
GUS progeny.
Why do our protesting friends persist
i'll blaspheming the truth, still hoping for
the worst is more than Solomon could
answer.
Here is Boston With Catholic mayor,
and a very good sort Of fellow, al.
though learned pundits in the choicest
Bostonese declared long ago that the
church was defunct.
Here is London with Catholic lord
Mayor. the first since the Reformation,
and lie is declared on all sides to be a
very respectable, honest citizen,
Right here i'll oux fair city, your fair
present writer could name a man for
mayor, as good q fellow as need be, aud
yet a rigid Roman Catholic. But What
is the. use of complaining, our enemies
are determined we are doomed, and SO
doomed we must be.
Why Is it, again I ask the third and
last slime, that such odd opinions prevail
about the Catholic Church? Because
the English language from the Refor-
NATION to this day was conspiracy
against the truth; because heritage Of
contame}y and dirt tling,ng aud BIAS
pheny came down from generation t.,
generation, and grew as the years rolled
on. The old st-hnnters altar
beams, Praise God -}are|,ones, s,ni: e-the~
enemy-hip-and-thigh Ctlis!s;s,,s, vi'lifed
and blasphemed the Church, and yet
there remains few OF ti,eir lineal de-
scendants who think that nothing good
can come out Of Nazareth
The torch Of truth cannot be put out,
obscured it may be by clouds and breath
of prejudice, but 8 lie cannot stand very
long in the clear light without being
known for it's blackness
Your correspondent will row make
prophecy though she is not the seventh
daughter Of seventh daughter; take it
for what it is worth
Tie day is East coming when the
world will find out that it's truest friend
has been the Pope; that The greatest
blessing ever given to man is "confes~
sion' as practjsea in the Catholic
Church; that the Highest act Of worship
is The Mass that marriage in the
Catholic Church as a sacrament is for
the auIest preservation Of society. and
that the religious woes are gift OF God

These are all difficult to swallow, but
the world is goini; TO bolt them whole

There is much wickedness in this

many heart-ache which your wisest

not so very bad a world.
The good God made it for his wisest

The world is improving, you growler,

VOrabIy ReceIVed-Russia Neither Fears

ST. PETERsBURG, December 16.-The OH
cial Military Gazette article favorably i'm
pressed the public mind as exactly express
ing the national feeling. Russia neither de-
sires nor fears war. The Journal De st.
Petersburg says: every impartial judge
VIII admit that Russia is not responsible for
the continuous reInfOrcements and the con-
dition of armed peace. 1t is true that the
central powers aIege that the sole object of
their alliance and ornaments is the main
tenance of pacific status quo, based
upon existing treaties. If, therefore,
Russia associates herself with this gaaran-
tee Of peace by taking defensive measures
to preserve equilibrium of the forces. 1t re-
mains 10 be decided as TO what point this
abuse of principle siUiS F5GcsUl pGrO bsillun
which weighs heavily on the finances OF
every country, while exciting passion and
alarming public mind, is the best means of

pears to desire, and the maintenance OF
which We believe to be assured for a long
period, thanks to OurigoOd relations with
our neighbOrs."

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 16.-AIr.
Hatch, of Missouri, submitted a concurrent
resolution that when the two houses ad-
jOurned Monday, December Is, they stand
adjourned until Thursday, January 3. Mr..
Reed, Of Maine, inquired the reason for the
submission of this resolution. Mr..
Hatch replied that If was a usual resolution
brought in at the first session Of q
congress. The house had been in session
since the first Monday in December, and it
was well known that nothing had been &C
cOmphshed- Mr.. Reed said that the pecu-
liar condition of the business affairs of the
country endorsed the action which had been
taken, or rather the nOu-aCtiOn which had
been suffered by the democrats of the house.
If the gentlemen on the other side found it
somewhat difficult to arrange themselves
alongside Of the recent message which had
been sent them, that the republicans could
well understand and could give them assur-
ancss of most profound sympathy. Laugh
ter The message to some democrats re-
quired that they should traverse very great
distance before they could get alongside of
their pioneer brother at the end Of the ave
nue..
After some further debate the resolution
was amended so as to make adjournment
for recess occur Thursday, December D.
The resolution was then adopted. After
some further routine business the house ad-
iourned until Monday.

CHICAGO, December IA Daily News
special from Dubuque, Ia, says: Judge
Shlras, of the United States district court,
sitting IN this city, remanded to-day all the
brewery and saloon cases before him to the
state courts. This was done at the request
of Judge Brewer, of Kansas. Fourteen
cases in all were remanded. This
does not prohibit the transfer of
the liquor cases from the state
courts, but it means that when so removed,
they will be at once remanded. Judge Love,
of the Southern Iowa district, has received
similar Instructions. This cuts of all hope
on the part OF the liquor men and brewers of
eVading the final issue by delays and ap-
peals. 1t is a victory for the prOhibitionists
and VIII result in putting to a speedy test
